Solving Plastic Pollution® through Infinitely Renewed Plastics™.

About us

Alterra is Solving Plastic Pollution® through Infinitely Renewed Plastics™ on a global scale with the deployment of its continuous advanced recycling technology. At its Akron, Ohio plant, the company creates economic value from landfill bound plastic, enabling the circular economy and creating a cleaner world by converting discarded plastics into petrochemical materials that can be further refined into new plastic production. The Akron, OH facility utilizes a patented thermochemical liquefaction technology to process 60 tons of waste plastic daily, diverting millions of pounds of plastic from landfills. Alterra's team of engineers, experts, and partners are driven by one purpose: creating a cleaner planet for future generations. Alterra licenses its technology to entities looking to recycle more challenging plastics or seeking more sustainable products. It is partnering with companies in the solid waste industry, government entities, and petrochemical companies. In January 2021, the world’s fourth-most sustainable company, Neste, acquired a minority interest in the company. Neste will collaborate with Alterra to further develop and commercialize Alterra’s technology in Europe and across the world. By globalizing its thermochemical liquefaction process, Alterra is re-imagining a future where society is free from landfilling and incinerating plastic waste.
